An 83-year-old Corning man was arrested Friday afternoon after his neighbor claimed he shot at her home several times while she was in it, according to a press release issued Monday by the Tehama County Sheriff”s Department.

The victim, 56, had been in an ongoing property dispute with Carl Edwin Secrest, 83, when she found bullet holes in the walls of her living room, she told deputies. She said she had just returned home when the shots rang out.

Secrest admitted to deputies he had fired the shots, the release said, but claimed he was shooting at dogs that were chasing his horses. Further investigation produced evidence to the contrary.
